Watch: England fans arrested after sparking riot with police in Marseille

Like the bad old days

Robert Redmond

It wasn’t difficult to predict this riot.

England fans were involved in clashes with police in Marseille, and no, you haven’t woken up in 1998.

The fans are in the city ahead of England’s game against Russia on Saturday night, and two were arrested during the clash with police, who used tear gas in an attempt to disperse the crowd.

The incident began outside the Queen Victoria pub, and England fans were heard chanting “ISIS, where are you?”.

However, ISIS didn’t qualify for the 24-team tournament. They’re a terrorist organisation who most right-minded people hope have no impact whatsoever on Euro 2016.
